I understand. but give them the price for the whole job then break it down. dont do the hallway then give a price for say, the b/room.

Price the entire job break it down for them hallway,b/rooms/lounge etc and if they don't like your price move on and remember your only as good as your last job. One bit of advice if you realy do think thats a "big" job let someone else do it.you will be doing yourself a favour

Try gambler's annon, they like chancers

Use compound adhesive,small dabs remember you have to scrape it off later.As for the inner arch,cut hardboard in strip of almost the width of the inside of arch bed it on inside of arch then put your beads on again stand back and adjust so all lines up. then render profile,

If U have a plasterer i take it he knows what he is doing. ask him this simple question, what materials do i use on wall?

Hardboard.sand the edges after cutting,tap it flat with a straight edge,stand back line up both arch's [bedding them to wall gives time to adjust so the margins line up]
